Hmm didn’t realize it didn’t embed. Hook picked up wrestling super agent Barry Bloom as his agent.

This was inevitable and happens in the private sector too - it’s not some unprecedented event.Touting record financial results while reducing benefits for employees, increasing their work load, and then not paying them for increased productivity?
Just add it to the mile long list of reasons why TKO/WWE are pieces of shit.

My favorite part is when he said he was blackballed from wrestling.
He is signed to TNA. He’s wrestled for them three times this calendar year. He wrestled four to five times for AEW/ROH after Punk got fired. He even publicly stated AEW was looking to bring him back but told he them he wasn’t interested. I mean I don’t blame him for not going back, but you can’t claim being blackballed from AEW (or wrestling in general) when they were looking to bring you back.
Given the way Jeff Hardy exited WWE last, I'm surprised they are so receptive to his return.
He should be in prison if we’re being honest here
For employee appreciation day, we’re stepping it up a level today to show you just how much your work is appreciated, you get your choice of pizza, hot dogs, or a 0.001% raise (that would be 1.50 a year for someone making 150K)
People who say they would like to be rich and famous don't know what they are asking for. The rich part may be nice but the famous part would be a pain.
They’re also gonna be at comic con in Lexington.
Along with 3 members of the cast of Wings!

Did you say Wings?!
Looks like I have my next vacation planned!
Of course I’m being sarcastic, but if that was nearby I would definitely go to see them if the price was reasonable. Love that show!
I was gonna go anyway but they just got announced. I haven’t thought about that show in years but now the brothers and that red head that was also in Robin Hood men in tights will be there and I sorta perked up. Not paying for a picture but still fun
I've got a soft spot for the Hardy Boyz. I subbed to WWF Magazine and an issue had a poster of them when they were practically kids. I mean, kidz. They looked like jobber scrubs then the following year or so became the hottest and most exciting team in wrestling. Matt died like 3 times in AEW and Jeff is most remembered joyfully dancing to the ring as his brother was getting beat up. They were always going to get a final run in WWE.
Plan has likely been Cody vs Cena for awhile with Cody vs Rock as a backup. Now with him getting a Scorsese film, random appearances are probably on the menu for 2025. All I really want over the next two years is Rock vs Roman and Rock vs Fatu, with Fatu winning in the same impressive fashion Brock won at Summerslam '02.

I don’t know how on earth anyone can be this excited about a Hardys match unless they’ve found the fountain of youth.
Last time I saw Matt wrestle in AEW he could barely run and bend his knees.
Jeff still had something in him but seems like TK lost enough trust to not want to invest in him much after the DUI. Honestly, who can really blame him with Jeff’s history? Plenty of other guys on that roster not getting in legal trouble to give those minutes too.

Some people just want their favorites to stick around. Hulk Hogan can barely walk and gets booed everywhere but there are still fans wanting him to do ‘one last match’. People actually paid to watch Ric Flairs last match and it’s a damn miracle he didn’t die in the ring.
I honestly don't know why people want to be famous. Even if there wasn't the negative aspects like this, I just don't see the appeal.
This reminds me of that saying, when you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
When you are used to being treated like Kevin Bacon, being treated like a regular Joe feels insulting.

Noticeably absent from the Ryan Nemeth lawsuit is his previous claim that AEW executives told him to cut a promo to antagonize Punk. Seems like a pretty important detail to leave out. So did he just make that up, or did he and his 1-800 caliber lawyer just fail to include it?
